In case you've been in a coma for the last 30 years, don't bother trying to extort an NBA player unless it involves peanut butter and a household pet, or threatening to divulge a score of over 900 on the SAT

A pro basketball player. The story is more a societal issue than anything else.

I'm sure it was just payment for the weed they were looking for {end gratuitous swipe}

Who the hell is Carmelo Anthony?

Huh? I thought Caramello was made by Cadbury.
